Al-Jumhuriyah workers attacked [Archives:2005/825/Local News]

Taiz Bureau

Some armed men of a landlord attacked workers of Al-Jumhuriyah Newsstand at Al-Tahreer and Jamal St. roundabout last Wednesday, preventing them from moving the newsstand to a new place, regardless of permission from the concerned authorities and according to the recommendations of the necessity for the improvement of the general labors workings.

The landlord with his influential friends claimed that he was renting that area for cars to park.

The permission he had, however, showed that the ground floor should be a parking and another part of it, a police station, because the area was a public market.

The head of the police station also hindered the putting the newsstand in its new place, and the landlord refused to make the ground floor a car parking.
